My Role

I have 20+ telecom operators customers ranging from Nordic countires and Poland where I am based to all the European countries and going all the way to Oman and South Africa.
I listen to them and advise them on their IT strategy or Network strategy often looking at how their digital transformation and journey to the cloud providers can be accommodated by hybrid solutions located in one of our +230 datacentres

What I love most about my role

I love about my role looking at the micro level of the business as a sales person with sales targets and an impact on the top line and also at the same time looking at the micro level of technology changes, datacentre trends in different countries in markets and how they are evolving. As I am covering all EMEA countires I am looking at UAE & Nigeria in one breath. This is exhilarating

How I define success

Succes being empowered and visible in the empowerment, have impact in the role that I am at and seeing that impact translating into giant economic growth of entire economies (thanks to datacentre growth and data becoming more accessible and less expensive

The best piece of business advice I ever received was
